50 Tips for Working with Unity (Best Practices)

About these tips (Edit: August 2016. I have revised these tips. You can find the new list here.) These tips are not all applicable to every project. They are based on my experience with projects with small teams from 3 to 20 people.There’s is a price for structure, re-usability, clarity, and so on — team size and project size determine whether that price should be paid.Many tips are a matter of taste (there may be rivalling but equally good techniques for any tip listed here).Some tips may fly in the face of conventional Unity development. Process 1. 2. 3. 4.

Maya Tutorials > Transforming Robot Production Pipeline Volume 2: Truck Modeling > Creating a proxy Tutorial > Digital-TutorsIn this Professional Series course, we will explore some the techniques and concepts involved in building and preparing the vehicle portion of our transforming robot project. This specific high-level course was designed to evolve your workflows, and give you some concepts to keep in mind as you go through the process of building the vehicle portion of your transforming robot. We'll look at a few modeling techniques to make the model more realistic, UV layout concepts, and cutting up the model in preparation for its transformation. Before we start, I recommend you have experience using Maya as we cover a lot of information in a shorter span of time. We won't be going through the modeling of this truck step-by-step, so if you’re an artist new to Maya or to modeling, the Beginner's Guides and Introduction courses are perfect places to start getting up to speed.

The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. Unity is a fantastic game development platform for many reasons, one of which being the clean, accessible way its component-oriented platform is designed. For example, it's very easy to slam together some code and have a simple working prototype running in a day or two. Despite its versatility however, I've found over the years that there's a few practices that work particularly well with Unity.

Here’s a sample that uses the user’s choice of fwd/bkwd keys for movement and their left/right keys for turning.

Over ten years of experience, in fact. In hindsight, I think it’s actually far too long to be using the one development tool exclusively – especially when the rug is pulled out from under you by a self-serving prat. In truth, I kind of shot myself in the foot by not exposing myself to other languages until this year. If you put all your eggs in the one basket, you may just find that the demand for those eggs isn’t what it once was.
